Fix switch-case condition error in sample code (#245)

The code 'case -EINPROGRESS || -EBUSY: ' is the same as
'case -115 || -16 :' at compiler time, as both error code are
implemented with macro like '#define EBUSY 16'.

The code above is essentially the same as 'case 1:'. In C, there is no
real boolean value. Boolean-like value will be converted to 1 or 0.

It does not matter too much if the '-EINPROGRESS || -EBUSY' is
calculated at build time or at runtime. In both case, it will compare
the 'rc' with 1 in the switch expression. It will not compare the
'rc' with any real error code number. When the code is really '-EBUSY',
the execution will fallback to the default branch.

And in practice, most of the compilers will do this simple compile-time
static calculation, and generate code like

static int test_skcipher_result(struct skcipher_def *sk, int rc)
{
    switch (rc) {
    case 0:
        break;
    case 1:
        rc = wait_for_completion_interruptible(&sk->result.completion);
/* code removed for conciseness */
        break;
    default:
        pr_info("skcipher encrypt returned with %d result %d\n", rc,
                sk->result.err);
        break;
    }
    init_completion(&sk->result.completion);
    return rc;
}
